Unless there is a new turnaround, DAZN should acquire the TV rights for Ligue 1 for the period 2024-2029. The British group already holds the broadcasting rights for the Italian championship, since October 2023, and this, until 2029. But this is far from being a success. According to information fromthe Daily Fattorelayed by Our World Cup14 journalists out of 32 positions occupied have been dismissed by the Italian branch of the sports streaming giant. Following this, the National Federation of the Italian Press (FNSI) and the Association of Lombard Journalists (AIG) jointly issued a statement to express their incomprehension.

Together with our colleagues in the editorial office, we are asking ourselves how it is possible to guarantee and improve the level of the offer by giving up half of the journalists employed “, they explain. DAZN justifies itself by explaining that this is due to a reduction in costs. TV rights are becoming more and more expensive, which is then reflected in the packages. This leads to a reduction in journalistic staff, which would be too expensive. The English company obtained the broadcasting rights to Serie A for 4.5 billion euros.
